A decision on the cooling water allocation should be judged at the west cooling channel, where the rule changes an ordinary route, shift or service. Keep contract terms, meter readings and worker testimony beside one another. The current file is the Year first, rain shift window 3 review, not a permanent settlement of every future case.
The cooling meter cards and the neighborhood draw schedule lists 85 draws with both a meter mark and a discharge note; the previous window lists 87. Grikka Ash checked both against crew logs compared with the inspection card for the same shift. The difference matters because how the city assigns cooling water when a shared discharge warms over a work shift.
Foundry managers count intake volume. Downstream residents want the discharge temperature recorded too. Those objections deserve a clear answer. They are not a reason to keep an uncheckable rule simply because its wording is familiar.
A useful decision names who will do the work, which count will change and when the result comes back to the public table. In this case, the discharge channel warms after a long furnace run.
The responsible office has begun the follow-up set by the board, which adopted a revised schedule with a worker review period.
